Genealogy is a fun hobby, but it can be intimidating to get started. How do I create my family tree? How do I get started searching? Do I need to go places to research, or can I research at home with my computer? We’ll address these questions and more.
In February we’ll focus on finding newspaper records of your ancestors.
In March we’ll focus on immigration records. (Nancy D. Castle Collaboration Studio)
In April we’ll focus on American war records.
In May we’ll focus on American census records.
If you wish, you may bring your laptop and follow along.
This program is free and does not require registration. It is intended for adults.
For more information, please contact Britta at [email protected] or (815) 756-9568 ext. 2100.
